I can back up his statement. I was at the parts counter of my dealership 2 days ago and a salesman was showing a memo to the parts guy. It was about those three bikes getting dropped next year.

Well, I won't miss THOSE three turkeys. Never will understand the Dave. They dropped their best looking models ever (Nighttrain,Low Rider,Softail Custom), totally ruined the Wide Glide & the Fatboy rear fender, but kept the dogs. They should dump those horrible denim finishes, and those disgusting "bobbed" rear fenders,too!
And keep those stupid skulls off from the factory. A factory bike can't be "BADASS" with all its EPA approved equipment. You make it "BAD" yourself after you buy it!

I agreed with these comments as well;
-Maybe I'm in the minority, but the Cross Bones was futt bugly to me, ridiculous looking fenders and that stupid crossed skull decal...
-Rocker, check, no loss.
-Trike X, check, no loss.
---------------------------------------------------------
1) I wish they would (loose the couch seat) and bring back the softail custom.
2) Bring back a full length fender for the Fat Boy. (YES!!!!!!!)
3) Bring back the Lowrider with a 32° rake, or a limited edition (not CVO) FXR EVO Lowrider.
I agree with the FXR idea. I don't see it happening. Shame too. That wouldn't put a dent in Dyna sales too much.
I wonder if they still have any Evolution motors to put in em.
But now, would an FXR with that newer stout front end (w/Dual discs!)
and a TC103 and a 6 sp be so bad? No CVO, regular side covers (chrome)
Dream on I guess !!!

We all have different likes, but I agree as U on the bones..
seems like MOCO wanted ole school on 1/2 of it and new look on the other half.
Mostly the fenders just IMO look out of place with the seat and springer..

The Rocker has some problems, but I think they our one of the best platforms to customize.
It would be ridiculous to by a new one and get rid oh the tank, oil tank, seat rear fender and front, wheels, handle bars... . but to buy a cheap used one in the future, I look forward to it.
So, I figured the Deuce was Harley's custom which was replaced by the Rocker, so, what is next for Harley's custom bike.

there's an a$$ for every seat, but I guess not enuf a$$es for these seats to keep them going, after all, business is business. for ME, the rocker wasn't bad, but a few styling queues that turned me off to it if I woulda been in the market for something like that. As far as the crossbones, I liked everything about it except for the flipped up rear fender until I rode one, then I hated it. You sit way high on the bike due to that seat, and the floowboards crape WAY too easy, no ground clearance at all, so it was not gonna be for me. never gate a streetglide trike any thought, but seems like an odd combination to me.

I have a new FatBoy which I love, but the rear fender is just well, OK. I tried to look for old FB photos of the fenders, but I can't find any. Can you? Hope so. Thanks!

That is one sharp looking Deuce. The whole look just flows.
